Ruptured Paraclinoid Aneurysm Presenting as Retrobulbar Optic Neuropathy

Abstract

Paraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms arise between the roof of the cavernous sinus and the posterior communicating artery. Their rupture rate is estimated at 11.4-25%. Ruptured paraclinoid aneurysms typically present with subarachnoid haemorrhage; a new visual deficit as a presenting complaint is distinctly uncommon
